NFT: Islanders at Rangers: 7 PM on MSG+

and must be how Red Sox fans felt between 1918 and 2004 that they just couldn't beat the Yankees. Hopefully it's not that long for Rangers fans to see things flip. Maybe the only way to beat the Islanders is with ex-Islanders on the team, so I predict a Ryan Strome 4 point performance tonight! Looks like Lehner in net for the Islanders tonight, and I feel good about Georgiev playing this game. I love how this Rangers' team is playing this year, let's keep the good feelings rolling going into Thanksgiving!

has done a remarkable job so far with this Rangers team. Now, he needs to get them over the hump and beat the shit out of the Islanders.

Except the Yankees were usually a great team in that time period. The recent Styx are a blah team.

...let's see how we do with the adjustments.

KWhite is sure to remind us how many days it's been : /

Ilya Sorokin just broke Shestyorkin's KHL consecutive shutout minutes of 208:30.

Not bad.

Anakim, good job on the thread.

Wow feelflows, sounds like a couple of good goalies on their way to the area in a few years.

I wasn't so sure about him but boy oh boy this guy knows how to coach. He reminds me a little but of Mike Sullivan coach of the Penguins. Of course everyone is wondering what is going on with them right now. Not that I care but it is interesting how the league appears to be passing them by at this point.

The Islanders have won eight straight against the Rangers since Dec. 6, 2016 and they're 12-1-0 against the Rangers since Dec. 2, 2015.

I can’t believe I didn’t know this already but i don’t read about the Rangers any more... seems like the news feed is filled with amateur bloggers and, frankly, you guys on these Ranger threads know more about hockey and the Rangers than the bloggers do, so I get my news here.

You're awesome, Bill. We love you on the Rangers threads.

Glad to have a Ranger game to get right, but that isn’t going to last forever. Would rather see Henrik in net given recent histiory. These are also the only days I miss Halak.

Let’s go Islanders!!! We need one more win against our little sisters in Manhattan.

That's the hope.. that these two guys come over and their games translate. It could be a fun decade +. How cool would it be if both were competing for NHL records in the same town!

We've already seen what the Rangers could accomplish with an elite goalie. Would be fun to see what the Isles could do

I was a bit off.. it's a CSKA record.. 4th longest in KHL history.. he's well over 210 consecutive minutes. 302 is the record.

Auto loss for NYR at this point. Just get it fucking overwith and move onto the next game.

Disagree, mon frere. I think 2 goalies who have previously had no skin in this rivalry change things tonight. Taking Hank and Greisser/Halak out of the possibilities methinks changes the equation.

And as much as I would love to see Sorokin shine here, and battle Shesty for years to come, goalies are so damn hard to predict. Especially coming out of the K. You have guys dominate there (Nilsson) who are average to worse here, and guys that have been backups that shine there (look at Johansson also on CSKA - as is Sorokin - who couldn’t advance past the AHL yet leads the KHL with a 10-1 record and a 0.70 GAA and a .970 sv pctg), so no one really knows if anything’s a given with their NHL performances.

lol ... nah, not this time... I'm looking at these next three games as a special package deal ... would be so nice to get three consecutive wins against the Islanders, Flyers and Caps!

Man, I hope you guys are right. I'm getting a litttttttle tired of this ridiculous inability to beat the Islanders. Thought maybe we'd flip the script with AV out of town, but it looked like more of the same last week.

Hopefully we adjust and actually take this one.

Chytl again!

1-0 NYR

.

Thinking we might have something nice here with young #72.

He's starting to look very comfortable.

.

And another one. LFG.

Maybe don't give them right back now like we did last week.

.

Well, they have to win now

A rather fortunate one... but I'll take it.

Actually, he did a lot of good work leading up to it - so it was well deserved.

Pionk!!!

This is more like it.

spaghetti— to check in and see the score. I was alerting heavan, but this is icing on the cake! Can I get a hoorah?

got answered pretty damn fast!

Looking like the real deal.

Isles are good for a 5 goal 2nd period.

You shut your mouth.

Make that 4-0.

Hey, Hey, Hayes!

to move with the puck

The Isles have missed the net so many times tonight. They've had a couple of chances to get a goal or two back and they're just flat out missing.

just really impressive they way they're playing

plenty of chances but couldn’t cash in. Rangers took advantage of their chances. As much as it pains me to say it your team is playing solid hockey.

Rangers are playing good D, but let's be honest, the Isles are keeping the Isles SOG down. Can't hit the net to save their lives

Is an absolute Fucking toilet stain. Can't stand listening to this halfwit. Absolutely awful.

He makes Booger look like Curt Gowdy.

Why aren’t you listening to the Ranger broadcast ?

since it’s his hand ... and I don’t think they have another player for his role... could really impact the chemistry ... esp with the fucking flyers fri

Because I live in fuck azz Albany and it's on MSG- up here. Goring and his bitch boy are the worst.

His specialty!

I know, astute observation. But they have the exact same fact.

Kreidaaaaaaaa.

This ass-kicking is exactly what the doctor ordered. God damn - about fucking time.
